Yes, the situation is much better, but these patches still apply on
usb core, or at least the same concept. Anyway, I have the new trivial
patches, I'll send them soon.

Read the patch carefully, it doesn't add any new dependencies, it just
shuffles them around, I already explained that. And the rest of the
stuff adds *defaults*, not dependencies, so you can still build in
x86.

Some of these changes have already been ack'ed, I just need to split
them. The rest, I guess I have to push it upstairs to Linus so he can
say if it does make sense to make builds more difficult for the users,
and keep the size of the current defconfigs from decreasing.
